Homework (200 words)
Yesterday, I was all tied up, because it was the first day after the long weekend to celebrate dragon boat festival. First, I woke up at 7:30. Although my alarm went off at 7 in the morning, I crawled back in bed till 7:30. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I felt much clear-headed. Then, I woke up my hubby. Second, we took almost an hour to my company. Since I and my hubby work at the same company, we always carpool in every morning. However, we took longer than usual to drive because a few car accidents stuck us in the traffic jam. Third, I started my busy day. I am a software engineer who is in charge of the development and maintenance of manufacture information system. After my laptop booted, my outlook received hundreds of emails from the factories of American, Germany, China, Japan and Singapore. They reported all kinds of issue. After discussing the solutions with my partner, we fixed problems and replied them. Next, I attended several con-calls about new products and new features coming in the next quarter. Sales want my system ready to support by then. After that, my boss congratulated my promotion, and gave me more works. Finally, I had a moment to break. I had a dinner with my hubby after working. We talked about travel plan to Tokyo over dinner. And, we went to bed around 10 to finish my incredible busy day.
